<h2 class="section" id="sec3">2  Installation</h2>
<p>
The toolbox used to come with pre-compiled binaries for various plateforms. 
Now the sources are available and you will have to compile it yourself.</p><p>The user has the choice of the BLAS library, but the Intel MKL is recommended
for the best performance. Note that the builtin blas library of Matlab is a
version of the Intel MKL (not the most recent one though), and offers 
a good performance.</p><p>The folder <code>doc</code> contains the documentation in pdf and html. <code>build/</code>
contains the binary files, including the help for each command.
<code>test_release</code> contains various matlab scripts which call the different
functions of this toolbox.</p><p>The software package comes also with a script bash that has to be used to
launch matlab for Linux and/or Mac OS versions. The install procedure is
described in a file called <code>HOW_TO_INSTALL</code> and in the file
<code>compile.m</code> for the Matlab version.</p>
